At last,
the long awaited dream of the English Major students has finally arrived. After
the nth attempts to establish a legit organization, Legion of
English Advocates or simply LEAD has been officially recognized on 8th
of January, 2015. This was successfully made possible through the support of
the following: the OSAS Coordinator Pastor Luis San Juan, the English Adviser
Prof. Roberto, the former Dept. Head of English Prof. Carlota Panganiban, our
former Dean of Education Prof. Jeannette De Jesus and of course through the
enormous effort from the current elected LEAD officials.
The newly elected Lead officers for AY 2015-2016
are: Flordeliz N. Quitalez (President), Clarenze Allyana Cultura (VP Internal),
Margen Pajo (VP External), Noreen Gallardo (Executive Secretary), John Alain
Eliazar Diaz (Asst. Secretary), Anne Mary del Rosario (Treasurer), Ephraim
Larazo (Auditor), Franciarina Baronand Sherwin Samar (PIO), Renz Daniel
Demaisip and Alfred Perez (POO), Monica Pempena (Production Manager), Kevin
Abergas (Second Year Rep. A) and Gabriel Sarmiento and Melann Santos (Second
Year Rep. B).
The
question is what is LEAD? “LEAD is an organization with an ultimate purpose
which is to encourage
each member to be an active English speaker”, according to the LEAD president
Ms. Flordeliz Quitalez.
And how
is this going to happen? Flordeliz also said that “…through productive projects
and regular assemblies, we will make it to the point that everyone is
benefiting and at the same time, learning”. So all in all, LEAD will help its
members to converse in English whenever possible. This will help a lot
especially for us studying the target language to assuage the anxiousness and
hesitations when communicating.
As a newly
sub-org under EDUCADA, LEAD had already achieved a number of projects, namely:
AAE or the Ambassador and Ambassadress of Education (January 31), in
partnership with the EDUCADA, the event was organized for the college to have representatives
for the coming Mr. and Ms. PLMar. Next was the film showing of NOAH (February
18), as a part of the 12th Founding Anniversary of our alma mater.
It was actually a film showing with a cause and the proceeds (notebooks and
pencils) will go to the unfortunate children in Marikina. And just recently was
the team building (March 31), with the theme of: “Success Through Unity and
Teamwork” held in the La Mesa Eco Park in QC. Everybody enjoyed and socialized.
So we expect that there are more projects like these to come. Right LEAD?
So English
majors, let us also do our part, always support and cooperate on the projects,
don’t complain, and try to contribute
whatever each and every one of us could
for the betterment of our dear LEAD.
And Last,
SPEAK THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WHENEVER POSSIBLE!
